A&H ZED22FX 16 mic 4 stereo sound mixer

The Allen & Heath ZED22FX 16 mic 4 stereo sound mixer is the perfect center to your live rig — and it's also ready to rock in the studio. First of all, the Allen & Heath ZED-22 FX gives you all the connections you need to hook up a small band, duo, or solo performer. Thanks to the 16 mic/line channels you can connect all the mics and DI boxes you need. Plus you've got three dual stereo channels available, each with a gain and 2-band EQ control.

The three external aux sends are ideal for routing to floor monitors or outboard time-based effects, leaving the internal aux send dedicated as a feed to the built-in effects processor, which boasts 16 presets, a tap tempo function, and adjustable parameters. A USB 1.1 port delivers 2-channel send and return capabilities via a Mac or Windows computer. There are stereo and mono main outputs in addition to alt and headphone outputs, and dual 12-segment LED meters that clearly indicate your master output level. Patch additional stereo sources into the RCA stereo return and 2-track inputs, then route them to the stereo bus, or mix them into the stereo channels. The stereo RCA output is handy for recording your mix to an external device such as a cassette deck or computer soundcard.
